It has been a summer of hard work for the White Reserve team that is completing the restoration work on the snow-making system damaged in 2020 by storm Alex. The works, which began with the construction of new snow-making lines in the Limonetto area, continued throughout the area of the departure station of the Cabanaira chairlift to end on the Carosello slope at Quota 1400.

The basin to be built will have a capacity of about 40 thousand cubic meters of accumulated water, a large reserve of water if we imagine that the artificial basin in the Laghetti area contains about 5 thousand cubic meters of water.
